Sunshine Bay Zanzibar - Adults Only Hotel - Matemwe (Zanzibar)

would be happy to recommend for a brief pit stop

Friendly staff, excellent amenities, the girls at reception made us feel so welcomed with their perfect service and a surprise room upgrade that included a good champagne.

Perfect experience.

fairly clean place with incredible view of the ocean.

Booked an a double room with terrace and it's own balcony. Garden view was great! Location: the hotel was near to the beaches as well as the nature.

The suite with garden view was cozy, with a comfortable seating area and a lovely balcony to relax on. The beach access was very nice, giving us that private feel, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay.

The food could be better, some dishes felt overpriced.

The hotel has an incredible and lovely location, next restaurant is 20-25 minutes away. I really enjoyed very very helpful personnel that ensures guests have a really amazing stay. The rooms are big size and beautifully designed with climate control, an individual safe, and a fridge.

Brand-new double room with nice big balcony, a great view, for instance. Paid gbp 110. The very amiable staff and their quick responses to my needs. Nice and peaceful location in the very very nice area, not far from the ocean, Mnemba island and the beach...

Is it hype or the real deal?

This place is a hidden gem! Clean and cozy with an amazing pool area. The beach is pristine, and staff is genuinely kind, ready to help with everything.

The lack of air conditioning, with sweltering heat. The food prices seemed excessive, which could deter some from enjoying meals on-site.

The beach access was perfect for family fun.

The food was overpriced in the restaurant, made us dine out often.

The pool area with three beautiful pools was a delight! They serve tasty meals, and the spacious suite had a lovely garden view.

The beach was lovely, but swimming? Well, let's just say you might need a paddle to play in the tide! The evening scene felt a bit like a ghost town.

Magical experience with friendly staff and gorgeous gardens to relax by the pools

Incredibly friendly staff, beautiful gardens.

The peacefulness of this hidden gem made for a relaxing getaway. I particularly loved the three cascading pools and the private beach that offered stunning views. Every day, my room was impeccably cleaned, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. The restaurant provided delicious meals and met all our expectations. It was a good stay that exceeded my family's needs.

The suite with partial ocean view was fine, and the beach access was perfect for snorkeling. We had a fantastic time swimming with dolphins, organized by the hotel. The private beach reminded me of our own slice of paradise, and we loved the cozy vibe around the pools.

Great staff and room upgrade, but Wi-Fi was spotty .

The perfect service left us in awe! From the warm welcome to the surprise room upgrade for our honeymoon, every moment felt special. The only letdown? The poached eggs were hard-boiled 🍳

Lovely Honeymoon Experience

The staff surprised us with a room upgrade and champagne. The hotel had a beautiful garden and a picture-perfect setting, and we can't wait to return for a longer visit!
